New Testament

John 19

1So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.

τοτε ουν ελαβεν ο πιλατος τον ιησουν και εμαστιγωσεν.

2And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.

και οι στρατιωται πλεξαντες στεφανον εξ ακανθων επεθηκαν αυτου τη κεφαλη, και ιματιον πορφυρουν περιεβαλον αυτον

3Then they said, 'Hail, King of the Jews!' And they struck Him with their hands.

και ελεγον· χαιρε ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων· και εδιδουν αυτω ραπισματα.

4Pilate then went out again, and said to them, 'Behold, I am bringing Him out to you, that you may know that I find no fault in Him.'

εξηλθεν ουν παλιν εξω ο πιλατος και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε αγω υμιν αυτον εξω, ινα γνωτε οτι εν αυτω ουδεμιαν αιτιαν ευρισκω.

5Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, 'Behold the Man!'

εξηλθεν ουν ο ιησους εξω φορων τον ακανθινον στεφανον και το πορφυρουν ιματιον, και λεγει αυτοις· ιδε ο ανθρωπος.

6Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, 'Crucify Him, crucify Him!'

οτε ουν ειδον αυτον οι αρχιερεις και οι υπηρεται, εκραυγασαν λεγοντες· σταυρωσον σταυρωσον αυτον. λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος· λαβετε αυτον υμεις και σταυρωσατε· εγω γαρ ουχ ευρισκω εν αυτω αιτιαν.

7Pilate said to them, 'You take Him and crucify Him, for I find no fault in Him.' The Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.'

απεκριθησαν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι· ημεις νομον εχομεν, και κατα τον νομον ημων οφειλει αποθανειν, οτι εαυτον θεου υιον εποιησεν.

8Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the more afraid,

οτε ουν ηκουσεν ο πιλατος τουτον τον λογον, μαλλον εφοβηθη,

9and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, 'Where are You from?' But Jesus gave him no answer.

και εισηλθεν εις το πραιτωριον παλιν και λεγει τω ιησου· ποθεν ει συ; ο δε ιησους αποκρισιν ουκ εδωκεν αυτω.

10Then Pilate said to Him, 'Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?'

λεγει ουν αυτω ο πιλατος· εμοι ου λαλεις; ουκ οιδας οτι εξουσιαν εχω σταυρωσαι σε και εξουσιαν εχω απολυσαι σε;

11Jesus answered, 'You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.'

απεκριθη ιησους· ουκ ειχες εξουσιαν ουδεμιαν κατ εμου, ει μη ην σοι δεδομενον ανωθεν· δια τουτο ο παραδιδους με σοι μειζονα αμαρτιαν εχει.

12From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, 'If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.'

εκ τουτου εζητει ο πιλατος απολυσαι αυτον· οι δε ιουδαιοι εκραζον λεγοντες· εαν τουτον απολυσης, ουκ ει φιλος του καισαρος. πας ο βασιλεα εαυτον ποιων αντιλεγει τω καισαρι.

13When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

ο ουν πιλατος ακουσας τουτον τον λογον ηγαγεν εξω τον ιησουν, και εκαθισεν επι του βηματος εις τοπον λεγομενον λιθοστρωτον, εβραιστι δε γαββαθα·

14Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, 'Behold your King!'

ην δε παρασκευη του πασχα, ωρα δε ωσει εκτη· και λεγει τοις ιουδαιοις· ιδε ο βασιλευς υμων.

15But they cried out, 'Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!'

οι δε εκραυγασαν· αρον αρον, σταυρωσον αυτον. λεγει αυτοις ο πιλατος· τον βασιλεα υμων σταυρωσω; απεκριθησαν οι αρχιερεις· ουκ εχομεν βασιλεα ει μη καισαρα.

16Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then they took Jesus and led Him away. Pilate said to them, 'Shall I crucify your King?'

τοτε ουν παρεδωκεν αυτον αυτοις ινα σταυρωθη. παρελαβον δε τον ιησουν και ηγαγον·

17And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, The chief priests answered, 'We have no king but Caesar!'

και βασταζων τον σταυρον αυτου εξηλθεν εις τον λεγομενον κρανιου τοπον, ος λεγεται εβραιστι γολγοθα,

18where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.

οπου αυτον εσταυρωσαν, και μετ αυτου αλλους δυο εντευθεν και εντευθεν, μεσον δε τον ιησουν.

19Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

εγραψεν δε και τιτλον ο πιλατος και εθηκεν επι του σταυρου· ην δε γεγραμμενον· ιησους ο ναζωραιος ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων.

20Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

τουτον ουν τον τιτλον πολλοι ανεγνωσαν των ιουδαιων, οτι εγγυς ην της πολεως ο τοπος οπου εσταυρωθη ο ιησους· και ην γεγραμμενον εβραιστι, ελληνιστι, ρωμαιστι.

21Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, 'Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said, 'I am the King of the Jews.' ' '

ελεγον ουν τω πιλατω οι αρχιερεις των ιουδαιων· μη γραφε, ο βασιλευς των ιουδαιων, αλλ οτι εκεινος ειπεν, βασιλευς ειμι των ιουδαιων.

22Pilate answered, 'What I have written, I have written.'

απεκριθη ο πιλατος· ο γεγραφα, γεγραφα.

23Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier apart, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

οι ουν στρατιωται οτε εσταυρωσαν τον ιησουν, ελαβον τα ιματια αυτου και εποιησαν τεσσαρα μερη, εκαστω στρατιωτη μερος, και τον χιτωνα· ην δε ο χιτων αρραφος, εκ των ανωθεν υφαντος δι ολου.

24They said therefore among themselves, 'Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,' that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: 'They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.' Therefore the soldiers did these things.

ειπον ουν προς αλληλους· μη σχισωμεν αυτον, αλλα λαχωμεν περι αυτου τινος εσται· ινα η γραφη πληρωθη η λεγουσα· διεμερισαντο τα ιματια μου εαυτοις, και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον. οι μεν ουν στρατιωται ταυτα εποιησαν.

25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

ειστηκεισαν δε παρα τω σταυρω του ιησου η μητηρ αυτου και η αδελφη της μητρος αυτου, μαρια η του κλωπα και μαρια η μαγδαληνη.

26When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, 'Woman, behold your son!'

ιησους ουν ιδων την μητερα και τον μαθητην παρεστωτα ον ηγαπα, λεγει τη μητρι αυτου· γυναι, ιδε ο υιος σου.

27Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

ειτα λεγει τω μαθητη· ιδου η μητηρ σου. και απ εκεινης της ωρας ελαβεν ο μαθητης αυτην εις τα ιδια.

28After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, 'I thirst!'

μετα τουτο ειδως ο ιησους οτι παντα ηδη τετελεσται, ινα τελειωθη η γραφη, λεγει· διψω.

29Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

σκευος ουν εκειτο οξους μεστον· οι δε πλησαντες σπογγον οξους και υσσωπω περιθεντες προσηνεγκαν αυτου τω στοματι.

30So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, 'It is finished!' And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

οτε ουν ελαβεν το οξος ο ιησους ειπεν, τετελεσται, και κλινας την κεφαλην παρεδωκεν το πνευμα.

31Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

οι ουν ιουδαιοι, ινα μη μεινη επι του σταυρου τα σωματα εν τω σαββατω, επει παρασκευη ην· ην γαρ μεγαλη η ημερα εκεινου του σαββατου· ηρωτησαν τον πιλατον ινα κατεαγωσιν αυτων τα σκελη, και αρθωσιν.

32Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

ηλθον ουν οι στρατιωται, και του μεν πρωτου κατεαξαν τα σκελη και του αλλου του συσταυρωθεντος αυτω·

33But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

επι δε τον ιησουν ελθοντες ως ειδον αυτον ηδη τεθνηκοτα, ου κατεαξαν αυτου τα σκελη,

34But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

αλλ εις των στρατιωτων λογχη αυτου την πλευραν ενυξεν, και ευθεως εξηλθεν αιμα και υδωρ.

35And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

και ο εωρακως μεμαρτυρηκεν, και αληθινη αυτου εστιν η μαρτυρια, κακεινος οιδεν οτι αληθη λεγει, ινα [και] υμεις πιστευσητε.

36For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, 'Not one of His bones shall be broken.'

εγενετο γαρ ταυτα, ινα η γραφη πληρωθη, οστουν ου συντριβησεται αυτου.

37And again another Scripture says, 'They shall look on Him whom they pierced.'

και παλιν ετερα γραφη λεγει· οψονται εις ον εξεκεντησαν.

38After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

μετα δε ταυτα ηρωτησεν τον πιλατον ιωσηφ ο απο αριμαθαιας, ων μαθητης του ιησου, κεκρυμμενος δε δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων, ινα αρη το σωμα του ιησου· και επετρεψεν ο πιλατος. ηλθεν ουν και ηρεν το σωμα του ιησου.

39And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

ηλθεν δε και νικοδημος ο ελθων προς τον ιησουν νυκτος το πρωτον, φερων μιγμα σμυρνης και αλοης ως λιτρας εκατον.

40Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

ελαβον ουν το σωμα του ιησου και εδησαν αυτο εν οθονιοις μετα των αρωματων, καθως εθος εστιν τοις ιουδαιοις ενταφιαζειν.

41Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

ην δε εν τω τοπω οπου εσταυρωθη κηπος, και εν τω κηπω μνημειον καινον, εν ω ουδεπω ουδεις ετεθη·

42So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

εκει ουν δια την παρασκευην των ιουδαιων, οτι εγγυς ην το μνημειον, εθηκαν τον ιησουν.
